Photo Locations

Many photographers including myself are not well travelled haven’t had the opportunity to expand their horizons the way they would like to. There are so many photo locations to choose from. It’s best to start right on your doorstep and expand as far as you can go. People often forget about their surroundings and I think with the Pandemic and NO travelling many people explored and enjoyed their own country and surrounds. This proves you don’t need to travel far to capture great images. Your home or backyard can deliver some top-class creative images with a bit of imagination and playing with light, but it can be very rewarding to find new places to grow your craft. I have learned to make the most of my surroundings in Cape Town, South Africa, and where I have had the chance to travel, I have found some magical places I would love to share with others so that they too may find some magic and expand their craft. I will also post some blogs about my experience at each of these and include some images. I hope you find this page and my blogs helpful, and please feel free to share your recommend places for me to explore locally too: melanie@melaniec.co.za
